Canadian Caught Trying To Equip Iranian Weapons Program

I am sure it was for peaceful purposes, but in the real world Iran has been breaking the law in regards to development and the Iranian nuclear program that can only exist for weapons.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian police, acting on a tip-off from the United States, charged a Toronto man on Friday with trying to illegally export nuclear technology to Iran.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Mahmoud Yadegari had attempted to obtain pressure transducers, devices that are used to make enriched uranium but can also have military applications.

"The declared point of destination was Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. However, we have evidence to support the fact that its ultimate destination was Iran," police Inspector Greg Johnson told a televised news conference in Milton, Ontario.

He said Yadegari had been charged under a United Nations act limiting exports to Iran, which is under heavy international pressure to halt its nuclear program.

Foreign analysts believe Tehran has yet to prove that it has mastered industrial-scale enrichment of uranium, the key to making fuel in large, usable quantities.

Iran has slowly expanded its Natanz uranium enrichment plant in defiance of United Nations resolutions demanding it stop over concerns Tehran's goal is production of atomic bombs.
